My car came with the Autopower 4 pt bar installed by the PO. It seems
to be a sturdy enough bar, and is mounted with steel reinforcing plates
below the deck. But I believe it is marketed as a "show bar", as in
don't count on it to help any.
I drove the car to the track one day, and just for grins had tech
inspection approve the car. It wouldn't pass. But the only problem was
the *height* of the roll bar, not its construction. With my helmet on,
my head was higher than the roll bar. Have a higher bar and of course
you wouldn't be able to put up the top.....
